@Maxandy posted:@Norm I'm kinda new to all of this...When I entered(2023) the hobby(love it) I immediatly thought the Base3 was an IoT device. I was expecting Internet access and a developer SDK to allow me to run wild and build my own. I dont know the business model for Lionel and MTH but i wonder if the hobby would expand and revenue would increase if they opened it up.
The LCS Partner Program would give you the protocols. You just have to email me to sign up. TMCC and Legacy protocols are open, and the LCSPP gives all LCS protocols, including Wi-Fi.
